This week on Kliq This, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver crack open the story of Paul Levesque — not just the wrestler, but the executive, the visionary, the man steering WWE through its post-Vince era. This isn't your typical Triple H retrospective. It's a candid, insider look at how Paul went from riding in the car with the Kliq to running the most powerful wrestling company in the world. And trust us — the way Kevin tells it, you'll never look at an entrance, a storyline, or a WrestleMania moment the same way again. Kevin opens up like only a peer and friend of 30 years can, walking listeners through Paul's evolution: from the young guy learning the business on the road to the architect of WWE's current creative flow. There's real admiration here, but also nuance — like how Paul delegates, who actually shapes what we see on TV, and what happens when the perfect plan falls flat between the writers' room and the ring. It's a conversation about power, performance, and the responsibility that comes with building something that millions of people care about. This episode also touches on landmark moments in Triple H's journey: that spine-tingling 2002 MSG return, the birth of NXT as a credible counterculture brand, and the pressure of stepping into control during the company's most scandal-ridden moment. Kevin and Sean don't flinch — they talk about the McMahon family dynamic, Stephanie's quiet exit, and how Paul managed to reinvent WWE's tone without blowing it up entirely. Then, in true Kliq This fashion, things take a left turn — Kevin steps away mid-show for what Sean jokingly imagines is an emergency call with Triple H himself. That's when longtime contributor Steve Kaufmann slides into the co-host chair for the back half of the episode. The vibe gets looser, the riffs get sharper, and a surprise round of “Florida Man vs. Jersey Guy” brings the perfect mix of absurdity and sharp wit that fans love about this show. Whether you're in it for the backstage scoops, the business philosophy, or the barstool banter, this episode is one of the most well-rounded yet. It's thoughtful, funny, and full of the kind of unfiltered insight that only comes when legends reflect on other legends — with a little sarcasm, a lot of honesty, and just enough rum in the piña coladas.

Dave and Bethlie are BACK!  In today's episode Dave and Bethlie tackle a very important question from a listener about how to train a 3 year old with a big imagination to not lie.   Later on in the episode Dave and Bethlie begin their series on raising a child with special needs. Thanks for joining us and enjoy this episode!   Question from a listener Would you be able to share tips on how to train a 3 year old who has a beautiful imagination on lying. We do a lot of pretend/imagination play, but I want him to also understand that lying (if asked a specific question) is not good.  This is something that just recently came up, and I wasn't sure how to handle it or train him on it. You have to know the difference in imagination and lying. Lying lips are an abomination to God; but they that deal in truth are his delight You shall not bear false witness (you shall not be dishonest in any situation) Truth shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment Using ones imagination is fun and normal and creative; lying is refusing to face facts and/or take responsibility in a specific situation. Imagination is not wrong; lying is very wrong. Imagination is fun; lying is dangerous You have to use different words.  Let's pretend Let's imagine Always tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth That is a LIE and That is VERY BAD Say that softly and sadly Connect those emotions with the act of lying In imagination In reality You have to teach Jacob and his family He lied to his dad His father in law lied to him His sons lied to him The Boy Who Cried Wolf   (14:40) Raising A Child With Special Needs Part 1 Defining special needs. Special needs refer to children who require additional support or services due to physical, developmental, intellectual, or emotional challenges. These needs can range from mild to severe and may affect various aspects of a child's life, including: communication, mobility, learning, behavior, and social interaction.  Some children have physical challenges Blindness, deafness, etc. Some children have mental or emotional challenges Various degrees of autism Fetal alcohol syndrome Some children are diagnosed with behavioral issues   ADHD Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These symptoms can cause significant problems in functioning at home, school, or work.  ADD Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is the older, more colloquial term for a specific type of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) called "Predominantly Inattentive Type”. ODD Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a behavioral disorder characterized by persistent negativity, defiance, and anger, often in children and adolescents. It's not a personality trait but a diagnosable condition that can impact a child's ability to learn, interact with others, and function in various settings.  OCD Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by obsessions (unwanted, persistent thoughts, images, or urges) and compulsions (repetitive behaviors or mental acts) that individuals feel driven to perform to reduce the anxiety caused by the obsessions. Conclusion

In this thought-provoking episode, Kyle and Sara Wester sit down with renowned author and speaker Alfie Kohn—a powerful voice challenging traditional ideas about parenting, discipline, education, and motivation. Alfie doesn't hold back as he dives into the unintended consequences of using rewards, punishments, and even praise with children. His insights, grounded in decades of research, have radically reshaped how countless parents and educators approach behavior and discipline. This conversation is equal parts challenging and inspiring—and yes, it even moved Sara to tears. Why? Because Alfie doesn't just critique outdated approaches—he paints a compelling picture of what's possible when we parent with unconditional love, curiosity, and trust. In this episode, Kyle and Sara explore:Why rewards and punishment may undermine intrinsic motivationHow praise can backfire—and what to do insteadWhat it looks like to support children's autonomy and growthHow schools and families can foster genuine cooperation, not compliance Listeners will walk away with not only a deeper understanding of why traditional discipline falls short, but how to do things differently—and more effectively.About Our Guest:Alfie Kohn is the author of 14 influential books, including Punished by Rewards, Unconditional Parenting, The Myth of the Spoiled Child, and The Schools Our Children Deserve. He's been featured on Oprah, The Today Show, and numerous other national platforms. His work has helped parents and educators across the globe rethink what it truly means to raise and teach children with respect and connection.Learn more at

Are you ready for Summer?  Are you ready for Lemonade? Are you ready for a Lemonade WAR!? In this latest episode of the podcast, Joe sits down with author Jacqueline Davies to discuss the graphic novel adaptation of her book, 'The Lemonade War'. Joe and Jacqueline get into a fabulous conversation about the book that you won't want to miss! Enjoy!   About Jacqueline Davies Jacqueline Davies has lived more places than she has fingers and toes. She moved six times before fifth grade, and she credits all that moving around with making her an excellent observer of people and life. (She's also very good at packing.) She discovered her love of writing when she was young, penning her first illustrated book in the third grade. It was called The Sad Shape, and although it never got published, she still enjoys sharing it with young readers and writers today. Jacqueline has three grown children and way too many houseplants. She divides her time between a town just outside of Boston and a cabin on the wild coast of Maine. She writes picture books, early chapter books, middle-grade novels, and young adult novels. In addition, she almost always has a suitcase that is in the process of being packed or unpacked. About 'The Lemonade War' Evan Treski is people smart. He's good at talking to people, even grown-ups. His younger sister, Jessie, on the other hand, is math smart—but not especially good at understanding people. She knows that feelings are her weakest subject. With just five days left of summer vacation, Evan and Jessie launch an all-out war to see who can sell the most lemonade before school starts. As the battleground heats up, there really is no telling who will win—and, even more important, if their fight will ever end.   Make sure to check out the Dtalkspodcast.com website!

In this episode, we're digging into the quiet beliefs many of us bring into parenting—assumptions we didn't even realize were shaping how we saw our kids.Kyle and Sara reflect on the messages they heard early on in their parenting journey: from well-meaning friends, family, and culture at large. Many of these ideas—like needing to “control” kids, stop “bad” behavior, or “show them who's boss”—can subtly influence how we respond to our children's needs, mistakes, and development.But what if many of these assumptions are wrong?They explore big questions like:Are kids really being bad, or are they lacking skills?Is punishment necessary, or is there a better way?What does research say about how children are actually wired?You'll hear how shifting your mindset can completely transform the way you parent. They talk about:Why children actually want to succeed and cooperateHow their brains are wired for connection and learningWhy behaviors often signal a lack of skill, not a lack of motivationAnd why labeling kids as “manipulative” or “lazy” misses what's really going onWhether you're early in your parenting journey or years in, this conversation invites you to challenge unhelpful assumptions and begin to see your child in a fresh way.

Welcome to Episode 251 of Autism Parenting Secrets. This week, we dive deep into one of the most overlooked factors keeping our kids from thriving — a dysregulated nervous system.If your child seems anxious, reactive, or shut down, it's not who they are — it's how their body is responding to stress. When their system is stuck in survival mode, growth and connection can feel out of reach.That's why I'm thrilled to welcome back Dr. Tony Ebel, Pediatric Chiropractor and founder of The Perfect Storm framework. He leads PX Docs, a national network helping families calm the chaos by focusing on what's happening neurologically.When the nervous system resets, massive breakthroughs are possible.
